Let’s dive into the culinary paradise of this delectable Pineapple Cream Cheese Cake recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of sugar
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 can (20 ounces) of crushed pineapple with juice
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter
• 1/2 – 1 package of cream cheese
• 8 ounces of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Sweetened shredded coconut (optional, for frosting)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, eggs, baking soda, vanilla extract, and crushed pineapple with its juice. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

2. Bake the Cake:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased pan, spreading it evenly.

3. Bake the cake:
   Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:
   While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less powdered sugar.

5. Frost the Cake:
   Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, spread the prepared cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake.

6. Optional Toppings:
   For an extra touch of flavor and texture, consider sprinkling some sweetened shredded coconut over the frosting. This adds a delightful tropical twist to the cake and enhances its visual appeal.

7. Serve and Enjoy:
   Slice the Pineapple Cream Cheese Cake into squares and serve it on a platter. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Sit back, relax, and savor every heavenly bite of this irresistible dessert!
